About this episode

Salam everyone, I hope you're well insha'Allah! Thank you all so much for your support on the first episode, it means more than you can imagine. If you enjoy the podcast, please make sure to leave a 5 star review!


In today’s episode, I am joined by the lovely Lamyaa, the founder of Minara. And if you don’t know what Minara is, it is a new Muslim tech start up completely dedicated to mindfulness and prayer. So of course when I was planning this season and came up with an episode dedicated to Salah and how it improves our wellbeing as Muslims, I knew I wanted to have this chat with her.


In this episode, we first get to know Lamyaa and her mission with Minara. We then discuss about our own journeys with Salah, the things we implemented to improve our relationship with it, all the benefits it has, and our tips for you to embrace what is probably the most important thing we can do as a Muslim.


I also want to share with you the wonderful initiative Minara has created, which is the Fajr Rise and Shine challenge. This challenge aims to guide you to understand how precious Fajr is and how you can start being more consistent with it.


You can get the challenge e-book for 50% off if you use the code MIZAAN50. All proceeds will go towards helping Palestinians in Gaza this month.
